BP MARKOWITZ TO CELEBRATE BLACK FRIDAY—RENAMED “BROOKLYN FRIDAY”—WITH “SHOP BROOKLYN” VISIT TO GREEN SPA IN BAY RIDGE

NOON
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28
THE SPA AND WELLNESS CENTER
8804 THIRD AVENUE
AT 88TH STREET
BAY RIDGE

On Friday, November 28, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will officially kick off “Brooklyn Friday”—formerly Black Friday—with a noontime “Shop Brooklyn” visit to The Spa & Wellness Center/Green Spa New York in Bay Ridge. Founded in 1998, The Spa & Wellness Center became the city’s first all-green spa and first all-green building in Bay Ridge earlier this year, with the addition of recycled natural furniture, walls, floors, and ceilings, solar power, and a selection of natural organic products and services.

“Shop Brooklyn” is an awareness campaign highlighting the uniqueness of Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and thriving shopping corridors, re-introducing Brooklyn to Brooklynites, and inviting tourists and visitors to experience this cultural and shopping destination—not just during the holidays, but year-round. Participating retailers, restaurants, bars, and other service providers will display a “Shop Brooklyn” logo in shop windows and offer special “Brooklyn Bonuses” this Friday and each weekend from November 22 through December 21.
